The room was thick with tension and remorse as, one by one, the members of the Special Division stepped forward. Their heads hung low, their voices trembling with genuine guilt.
"Sorry too, Mr. Sims!" one of them spoke up.
A man stepped forward, his voice shaky. "I sealed the windows on purpose so you wouldn't see any light. I was wrong. I'm so sorry."
Another added, his face flushed with shame, "I made sure the door was cracked at night to let the cold air in while you slept. I thought I was being clever. But now I realize how cruel that was."
"I didn't do much, but I led the charge to badmouth you for days. I'm sorry."
One after another, the members of the Special Division bowed their heads in apology. Their words weren't just empty formalities — you could hear the weight of their regret pressing down on every syllable. It wasn't just guilt that moved them now; it was a growing, dawning admiration for the elderly man who stood before them, weathered and worn but unbowed.
Even those who had done nothing wrong followed suit, apologizing and showing their respect. The atmosphere was heavy, suffused with a collective sense of shame.
Then, a steady voice cut through the murmuring crowd. "Let me through."
Everyone parted like water before a stone as Brian walked up, his eyes fixed on old Mr. Sims.
And what he saw struck him like a physical blow. The man's white hair, thin and fragile against his scalp. His frail body, bent under the weight of years and sacrifice. His shaky steps, uncertain yet somehow still determined. But most of all, it was the eyes — those steady, unbroken eyes — that shattered something inside Brian.
The weight of everything crashed down on him like a tidal wave.
Without warning, Brian dropped to his knees in front of old Mr. Sims, the sound of impact echoing through the room — a loud, heavy thud that made everyone flinch.
Old Mr. Sims froze, startled by the sudden gesture. "What are you doing? Get up, get up..."
But Brian shook his head firmly, his voice cracking with emotion. "Please don't ask me to get up. I've known you my whole life, and I know the kind of person you are. But because of this stupid Special Division position, I let myself grow suspicious and resentful toward you. And when everything went south, I didn't question it — I just got angry. I didn't trust you, and I should have. Mr. Sims, I'm so sorry!"
His forehead hit the ground with a sharp knock, the sound stark and resounding, sending a chill through everyone's chest. The room fell utterly silent.
When Brian lifted his head moments later, his forehead was already turning red. It was clear he was ready to bow again, to keep punishing himself with his own penance.
That's when old Mr. Sims chuckled — a soft, unexpected sound in the heavy air. He shook his head slowly, a fond smile playing on his lips. "You stubborn kid, get up!"
Brian froze.
The familiar nickname hit him like a lightning bolt — a memory of a younger time, of a boy who had grown up under this man's watchful care. Memories of his younger years flooded back, unbidden and overwhelming. He blinked, his eyes suddenly red-rimmed and glistening. He opened his mouth, desperate to say something, but the words got tangled and stuck in his throat.
Mr. Sims reached down — with effort, with grace — and pulled Brian to his feet. "You've done a good job all these years," he said softly, his voice like balm on an open wound.
Brian's face contorted with confusion and pain.
"I should have handed the reins to you long ago," Mr. Sims continued, his gaze warm and steady. "But I had to stay on for Barry's sake. It's only natural you'd have some hard feelings. But even so, I've seen everything you've done lately, and I'm proud of you."
He helped Brian stand upright, steadying him with a gentle grip, and smiled. "You're my pride. I know you'll take good care of the Special Division."
Brian blinked, his mind spinning. "What are you saying?"
Old Mr. Sims glanced over at Barry Brandt, a soft, knowing smile crossing his weathered face. "Barry's back, so there's no need for me to hang on to this job any longer. It's time for me to retire. As for the money in my account — I didn't touch a cent because I was afraid it'd be flagged. Now, it can all go to charity. It's Barry's contribution to our country."
The confession dropped like a stone into still water.
Old Mr. Sims had never been involved in corruption. The money in his account remained untouched — pristine, innocent.
Brian's chest tightened even more, and his eyes filled with tears. The guilt was overwhelming — a suffocating blanket of regret.
Barry's eyes were red too, his voice thick with emotion as he grabbed old Mr. Sims' arm. "You've worked so hard all these years, but you could have retired. I could have worked with Brian to handle things..."
Old Mr. Sims patted his arm gently, like a father comforting a worried child. "Your return was never a sure thing. You kept sending me the money you earned abroad to keep it from being frozen in your account. It was only a matter of time before everything blew up. If I hadn't stayed in this position, Brian would have been the one stuck here. I could still carry the weight, so I stayed."
Brian's chest heaved as the full weight of old Mr. Sims' sacrifice finally crashed into him.
He understood now. God, he understood it all.
Old Mr. Sims never stayed in his position for the power or the title. He never sought glory or control. He stayed to protect everyone — to be the shield that absorbed the blows meant for others. If Brian had been in charge, he would have been the one thrown into prison and branded as a traitor. He would have been destroyed — his career, his name, his life — all of it.
Guilt and regret overwhelmed Brian in waves, crashing relentlessly against his spirit. Old Mr. Sims was a father figure to him — a pillar of strength and guidance — and he had remained steadfast all these years while Brian had doubted him at every turn.
How could he have been so blind?
In a flash of self-loathing, Brian slapped himself across the face — a sharp, resounding crack. Then he dropped to his knees again, head bowed low in abject repentance. "Uncle Sims, I'm so sorry."
Old Mr. Sims sighed — a long, weary exhale that carried the weight of years — and bent down to help him up once more. "You're like a son to me. There's no need for all this formality. After your father passed, I treated you like my second son."
Brian's lips trembled. The words were too much, too profound.
Old Mr. Sims looked around at the members of the Special Division, who stood watching with tearful, reverent eyes. He smiled — warm, resolute, at peace. "From now on, the Special Division is in Brian's hands. I trust all of you to support him and carry on our work."
The entire team shouted in unison, their voices cracking with emotion and determination, "Yes, sir!"
Old Mr. Sims had dedicated his entire life to the Special Division, and there wasn't a single person in that room who wasn't deeply moved by his selflessness. His whole existence had been one of quiet sacrifice — a protector who bore the weight of suspicion and hostility so that others might stand tall and safe.
After the echoes of their voices died down, old Mr. Sims glanced through the crowd — his eyes searching, soft — and spotted Keira standing toward the back. His gaze softened even further, a gentle warmth spreading across his face as he waved her over.
"Kiddo, come here."
Keira hesitated for a moment, the tension evident in her stillness.
She then sighed, releasing that hesitation with a breath, and made her way through the crowd toward him. The others stepped aside, instinctively giving her space, clearing a path for whatever was about to happen next.
And that, my dear readers, is where this chapter leaves us — hanging on the edge of a moment, with Keira walking toward an old man who has just revealed the depths of his sacrifice, and the promise of something new about to unfold.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, my heart. This chapter was absolutely devastating in the most beautiful way. Watching Brian's realization shatter him piece by piece — the slap, the repeated bows, the raw emotion in his voice — it was so painfully human and real. And old Mr. Sims… my God, what an incredible character. His quiet, unassuming sacrifice unraveled layer by layer until we see the full portrait of a man who gave everything, endured everything, and asked for nothing in return. The moment he called Brian a "stubborn kid" and said he was like a son to him had me tearing up completely. This chapter is a masterclass in redemption through understanding, and the emotional payoff is absolutely worth it. That ending with Keira — I'm on the edge of my seat!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
With old Mr. Sims now retiring and his attention turning warmly toward Keira, I predict that a deeply personal conversation is about to take place — one where Mr. Sims may reveal something important about Keira's past, her family, or her connection to this entire tangled situation. Given his years of experience and his ability to see through people, he might give Keira crucial insight or guidance, possibly even a warning about the threats she's facing. And with Brian now fully redeemed and in charge of the Special Division, a powerful alliance is forming — one that will be tested very soon.
